In save chances, he's now 6 for 8.

St. Paul took a 8-4 lead on Chavez's 37th home run of the season. The 2-run home run, which he hit off Ed Nunez in the top of the seventh, propelled St. Paul to the win.

"We played hard and won," said Chavez. "Sometimes, baseball really is that easy.'

The Colored Gophers own a robust 71-31 mark.
